Interior scene set around a table laden with cloth and framed pictures, many leaning up against it; other objects are visible, including a helmet and goblet and a large lantern on the floor at centre right. Buyers sitting and standing around the table; one bends to inspect some fabric. An auctioneer seated in an elevated position at centre left has just started bidding on a framed picture presented for consideration by a porter. The elderly figure sitting in the left foreground, wearing a cloth cap and catching our eye is closely comparable with the costume and expression of Rembrandt's self-portrait of 1658 (Frick Collection). title: print LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Paintings, Drawings and Prints STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/305756 TECHNIQUES ---------- etching CATEGORIES ------ category: print DATING ------ creation date: 1886 - 1918 creation date earliest: 1886 creation date latest: 1918 culture: 19th Century-20th Century# CREATORS -------- maker: Spence, Robert
